Special end to a journey that began in 2012..⁣
⁣
2018 ended with a 4peat at the Xterra World Trail Running Championships. After winning 2 times I was not sure if I would return. I heard whispers in my head of my Dad telling me "anyone can win once" 🤣⁣
⁣
So I had to come back for me, my Pops and for the challenge. Also for the Hawaiian food! 🏆🏆🏆🏆⁣
⁣
✊🏾 Four times is a Charm ✊🏾⁣

As a fellow #miscarriagesurvivor I am so grateful that people are finally starting to talk about pregnancy loss openly. One thing I’ve noticed, however, is that there is a subset of pregnancy loss mamas that are much more silent than others. That subset are those of us that have suffered secondary pregnancy loss; loss after one or more live births. 💔
Only 1% of couples will have 3 or more consecutive losses, and we found ourselves there in an even more rare situation: after the uncomplicated births of our first two children. Secondary pregnancy loss feels a bit taboo even as the topic of pregnancy loss overall increases in volume. 💔
I think one of those reasons is that we tend to feel guilty, like we shouldn’t be sad or at least not sad out loud that we’ve lost a baby, when we have living children at home. Who are we to complain, when there are couples grieving with no live children, or couples who are unable to even get pregnant. 💔
This needs to stop though, this comparing of grief. Grief is grief is grief is grief, and pregnancy loss SUCKS, regardless of how many children you already have. 💔
Our latest blog post talks about secondary pregnancy loss, in the hopes that other mamas (and daddies) going through it will know that they are not alone. We all have every right to mourn out loud. **Link in bio**
💔
Every life matters. Every loss matters. 💔
